Great race coverage, almost up the minute. Really enjoyed the updates. Sounds like it was an exciting race, flat out right to the end. The prototypes are so much faster than the production cars, combined with the difference between pro and amateur drivers, it really makes a very dicey situation out on the course. Some are calling for a separate event to reduce the risks associated with speed differential. However it is not so different however from the 70s when private cars were on the circuit with the mighty 917 and Ferrari 512s. There was a 100kph speed differential on the Hunadiers’ straight.
